Hugh Robertson condemns
attacks in Mosul and calls for new government to address causes of insecurity
in Iraq.
Foreign Office Minister for the
Middle East Hugh Robertson said:
I utterly condemn the attacks by
the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) in Mosul in Iraq this morning. My
thoughts are with the people of Mosul and the families of the victims who have
suffered in these attacks. The UK is monitoring developments
closely.
We fully support the Iraqi
government in its fight against terrorism, and call for the safety of all
civilians to be ensured. It is vital that all Iraqi authorities co-operate to
tackle the challenges Iraq faces, and we call for a new Iraqi government to be
formed quickly to allow political leaders to work together to tackle the causes
of insecurity in Iraq.
